for £20 I couldn`t resist

Ooh, er, umm,...

What could be done with the Apollo
A clue might be in the name...............we`ve had the Lunar Rover,....don't think we`ve had a bicycle up there yet....might be worth having a word with DJ Trump`s ex chum Elon..............................Yikes ! ...Moon landings ...what have i started :confused:

edit - The Puch brand i think was sold in the USA via the Sears Allstate catalogue company years ago

Been away for a few days, ..............Thanks for all the replies, ..........personal opinions & tastes are a wonderful thing, Future Collectables are driven by supply & demand, so the shit that no one cares about & ends up down the tip becomes very scarce. Its with this in mind im hoping my Apollo in about 20 years time might be worth £20.50p
Years ago I bought a total gaspipe frame for £60... but it was Cinelli, and unbuilt.
Because everyone had thrown them away, it was super rare
Sold to a collector in Israel for £600👍
These bottom end bikes deserve a place in a museum, they tell us history more than the flash stuff. but often overlooked.

Much like Raleigh burners and grifters... Crap bikes really but have a place in many people's hearts.
 
Heeeyyy wait a minute how dare you, my beloved Grifter wasn't cra...... 🤔

Yeah,,, yeah you're totally right it was crap 🤣
But I loved it and the adventures I had on it 😍
We called the Grifter we had (it must have 100 hand by the time we got it) the ball breaker, because every now and then it would shift out of gear underload and you'd either spin the pedals so suddenly your balls would hit the gear stick, or it would lock up and you'd hit your balls on the stem.
 
The Bomber.
We've sold quite a few over the years

Great looking, especially in blue.

but not great going or stopping😆
Specially on Bristol's rainy hills🤕
I would really like one of these.... They might be considered heavy and , well heavy... but my friend had one when I was a kid and it was epic. Kinda reassured you about Earth's gravity every time you landed it.
